B. The role of the moon is greater than that of the sun in the occurrence of tides. ???​

Physics

ahrayia [7]3 years ago

Our sun is 27 million times larger than our moon. Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. If tidal forces were based solely on comparative masses, the sun should have a tide-generating force that is 27 million times greater than that of the moon. However, the sun is 390 times further from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon. Because of these conditions, the sun’s tide-generating force is about half that of the moon.

Describe what happens to the particles of water when it boils.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The liquid turns to a gas.

Explanation:

If a liquid is heated the particles are given more energy and move faster and faster expanding the liquid. Particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles of gas in the liquid.

The relation of mass m, angular velocity o and radius of the circular path r of an object with the centripetal force is-
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Correct option not indicated

Explanation:

There are few mistakes in the question. The angular velocity ought to have been denoted with "ω" and not "o" (as also suggested in the options).

The formula to calculate a centripetal force (<em>F)</em><em> </em>is

<em>F</em> = mv²/r

Where m is mass, v is velocity and r is radius

where

While the formula to calculate a centrifugal force (F) is

<em>F </em>= mω²r

where m is mass, ω is angular velocity and r is radius of the circular path.

<u>From the above, it can be denoted that the relationship been referred to in the question is that of a centrifugal force and not centripetal force, thus the correct option should be</u> C.

NOTE: Centripetal force is the force required to keep an object moving in a circular path/motion and acts inward towards the centre of rotation while centrifugal force is the force felt by an object in circular motion which acts outward away from the centre of rotation.
